“Year of the Monkey (27),” Print, 8″ x 11″, $8.00 Ea

Trading self-criticism for self-compassion is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Letting go of our self-criticism and making friends with ourselves makes us happier, more resilient, and kinder. In this painting, the beautiful Chinese character “Hsi” (or Shee”) means double happiness, wedding. The lotus flowers represent purity and beauty. And, the gold nuggets symbolize wealth. The monkeys are over-joyed at finding so many treasures. And, they would like to wish you abundant happiness and a good life. (11/03/2015)
